Well I thought I did my research before ordering rims. I wanted tires to stick out a little. Ordered 17x9 -12 offset, just found that back spacing is 4.5. When they took them out of the box at tire store I was kind of😕. Not sending them back, plus boxes got ripped up pretty good. Not going overly big with tires, 285/17. Seems like I heard you had to be careful with spacers, could be bad on ball joints or something.
What is a safe spacer thickness?
What is a good brand?
